Steel Cut Oats in the Slow Cooker

The crème de la crème of oats - we mean it! Slow cooking our Steel Cut Oats results in the creamiest of textures and we think it's heavenly! Because the whole oat groat is cut into pieces rather than rolled into a flake, Steel Cut Oats take longer to cook in the morning and we don't always have the time to prepare them. The solution? Start your slow cooker before you head to bed for a warm, filling, ready-to-eat breakfast when you wake up! Make slow-cooker oats for the whole family or portion servings into containers for several breakfasts that just need to be reheated quickly in the morning. Simply top with your favorite accoutrements and enjoy!
